Pakistan’s water resources, including the Indus River Basin, are under severe stress due to population growth, urbanization, water scarcity, degraded water quality, and climate change. The report presents a vision for a productive and water-secure future, outlining key goals such as doubling agricultural outputs, expanding hydropower, reducing flood impact, and improving water supply and sanitation.
It calls for mobilizing financial and intellectual resources from the government, private sector, and development partners. The report also highlights the importance of modernizing infrastructure, institutions, and knowledge management to effectively work towards a water-secure Pakistan and address its water challenges.
The Report was retrieved from the Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR) and published in 2012.
